These increase your perception by 18 (as shown by the buff details, click the green text above). This is about 3 and a half levels of detection, enough to negate a Rogue's Master of Deception. They won't make you a Rogue detection machine, and a Rogue that rushes you is still likely to get the first hit, but they do help some. If they try to do something clever, like trail you, you can sometimes get the upper hand.

If you're a lvl 29 twinked rogue these goggles are a must! Always get the first shot in by wearing this. Imp Sap takes them out of stealth (while you're still tucked away in the shadows) and lets you do your dirty work. Nelfs will still be wondering "HOW DID HE SEE ME IN STEALTH!?"

And all the other rogues will 'awe' at your skill and prowess. This headpiece rocks! ENG FTW

Stealth Detectionas of patch 2.1

5 points of stealth detection raises your stealth detection by 1 level. So a level 70 player with 10 points of stealth detection can see stealthed targets as if he were a level 72 player.

Stealth works the same way. 5 points of stealth raises your effective stealth by 1 level. Rogues and druids can both spend talent points to get 15 points of increased stealth, raising their effective stealth by 3 levels.

The most stealth detection you can achieve is to be a human rogue, grouped with a warlock who has a felhunter out, wearing Catseye Ultra Goggles, drinking an Elixir of the Searching Eye, and using your racial Perception. This will get you a total of 119 points of stealth detection. However, the effect of vanish is as follows: . . . . . . . Rogue Ability - Vanish (enters an improved stealth mode for 10 sec) . . . . . . . Rank 1: +170 stealth http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=11327 . . . . . . . Rank 2: +270 stealth http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=11329 . . . . . . . Rank 3: +370 stealth http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=26888As you can see, it is not possible to have enough stealth detection to see an equal level rogue who has performed a vanish.

***** A special note regarding Invisibility and Invisibility Detection *****

Stealth is NOT invisibility and invisibility is NOT stealth.Stealth detection will NOT help you see invisible targets.Invisibility detection will NOT help you see stealthed targets.
